Smoother idle for 2015

Traded my 2013 6.7 for a 2015 6.7 and right off I noticed the idle is much smoother. Putting my hand directly on the motor or feeling the steering
wheel there is a big improvement. My 2013 had a slight vibration in the steering wheel at idle but the 2015 has no vibes in the steering wheel.
The 2015 motor must be balanced better or it could be a change in the idle strategy.
Any one else notice this?

My '14 is so quiet and smooth that I have to look at the tach sometimes to make sure it is running - seriously.

Just one more reason I traded my 2012 for this 2015. Maybe it's taken this long to work all the bugs out, and many times the last year model in a series is a keeper.
